San Antonio, TX wetland pilot project lake sewage filter
The city of San Antonio launched a one-acre wetland pilot project to filter sewage stored in Mitchell Lake. The test wetland allowed the city to experiment with how much water the wetlands could effectively treat before becoming oversaturated: between 2 to 7 million gallons per day. After 18 months of success, the city is proposing the pilot project be scaled up to cover 100 acres.
